On dark Christmas nights, the veil thins. In Victorian England, it was tradition to gather by the fire on Christmas Eve & tell ghost stories—Dickens’ A Christmas Carol is the most famous survivor of this once-widespread custom. Telling “winter tales” until midnight was believed to keep evil spirits at bay while the Saviour was born.

Messy Chrism to all! 🦇❤️🦇
I’m a big fan of the bizarre and off the wall and sometimes creepy nineteenth century Christmas cards, so I thought I’d do my part in bringing back some festive bat imagery. They made this little handwritten heart themselves! Swipe to see the metallic paint twinkle festively ✨

It just wouldn't be Christmas without the scarey Victorian snowmen. Enjoy. #VictorianChristmas #Christmas #Snowman
